From October 19 to 21, actors from the Liepāja Theatre, the Liepāja Puppet Theatre, and the Latvia Puppet Theatre are participating in inspiring masterclasses led by choreographer and researcher Dalija Aćin Thelander.
The masterclasses explore inclusive and sensory-based theatre for children with diverse needs, using movement and audience interaction to make performances more accessible and engaging.
“It is amazing to see performers deeply challenged when encountering completely new approaches to the audience, and to see them embracing the task in such a playful spirit,” says Dalija.
Step by step, we’re building a cultural space that welcomes, uplifts, and includes everyone!
